Letter From A Stranger

When award-winning film maker Justine Nolan returns to her beautiful childhood home, she is intrigued by an envelope she finds in her absent mother's post. But the letter inside contains a shocking revelation. If genuine it will change everything she believes about her family's recent history, her mother and her adored grandmother, Gabriele.

Bradford is a very popular author of "women's fiction". Her 27th book explores the darker side of family life when her granddaughter Justine opens a letter with no return address for her mother. As Justine searches for her presumed dead grandmother, family secrets stretching back to Nazi Germany are revealed. The novel is compelling but the characters are pretty black and white and the ending just a bit too neat for my liking. A good beach read.
